# The Habit of Truth

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
If I can still my racing thoughts and hear your whispered tone,
If I can silence all the noise that drowns your voice anew,
And recognize your presence when I feel most alone.

How often have I turned away when you approached my door?
How frequently I've plugged my ears when comfort was my need?
I chose the sweeter falsehoods that I wanted to explore,
Rejecting harder wisdom that might make my spirit bleed.

Yet truth, you never left me, though I wandered far astray,
You waited with such patience as I chased my grand delusions.
You stood beside me silently through night and troubled day,
As I embraced my carefully constructed illusions.

Now I am learning slowly how to cultivate your sound,
To recognize your cadence in the chaos of my mind.
The habit of your listening makes my footing more profound,
And speaking you becomes the greatest freedom I can find.

So truth, I pledge to listen, though your words may bring me pain,
To honor what you tell me, though it shatters what I know.
For in your stark revealing, I find purpose once again,
And in your honest presence, I find space in which to grow.

# The Habit of Truth

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
If I can quiet the clamor of my own certainties,
And hear your whisper beneath the thunder of desire.

How often have I drowned you out
With the noise of what I wished to believe,
Cupping hands over ears when your voice grew too clear,
Too cutting against the comfortable fabric of my delusions.

Truth, you are not always beautiful.
Sometimes you arrive dressed in thorns,
Offering medicine that tastes of bile,
Holding mirrors that show what I've hidden even from myself.

Yet in those moments when I've been brave enough
To sit in your presence without flinching,
I've found a strange liberation in surrender,
A weightlessness in letting go of cherished lies.

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
For how can lips form what ears refuse to hear?
How can I offer others what I will not accept?

So I practice this discipline of attention,
This daily turning toward your voice,
However it comes—as thunder or whisper,
As comfort or wound, as light or shadow.

I am learning that to speak you
I must first become hollow,
A vessel emptied of pretense,
A bell waiting to be struck.

# The Listener's Oath

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
If I quiet my mind's ceaseless chatter,
If I silence the ego's desperate need
To be right, to be heard, to matter.

Truth, you whisper in moments of stillness,
When defenses fall away like autumn leaves,
When I cease to rehearse my responses
And simply receive what the moment gives.

You hide in the spaces between certainties,
In questions that have no simple reply,
In the courage to say "I don't know yet"
And the patience to let answers arise.

How often I've drowned you with my noise,
With opinions formed before facts were clear,
With judgments hardened by fear and pride,
Refusing the wisdom that might appear.

Truth! I shall speak you when I've earned the right,
When I've listened long and listened well,
When I've held contradictions in open hands
And allowed my own convictions to fail.

For you are not mine to wield like a weapon,
You belong to no faction, no creed, no side.
You emerge from authentic conversation
Where honest seekers stand dignified.

# The Habit of Truth

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
But how often do I turn away, preferring comfort's sweet embrace?
The mirror you hold reflects what I fear to face,
While I construct elaborate shelters of delusion.

Each morning I promise to honor your voice,
To let your whispers guide my choices and words.
Yet by midday, I've forgotten our pact,
Seduced by convenience, by what others expect.

You wait patiently in the corners of consciousness,
Neither judging nor forcing your presence upon me.
You simply exist, eternal and unchanging,
While I dance around you, sometimes drawing near.

What would happen if I made you my constant companion?
If I cleared the pathways between us of debris?
Would my relationships deepen, roots stretching into fertile soil?
Would my art finally speak with the resonance I seek?

The habit of listening requires silence first,
A willingness to sit with discomfort, with uncertainty.
To recognize that you speak in many voices—
Through body and dream, through stranger and friend.

Truth! I shall speak you when I learn to listen,
When I practice the discipline of attention.
When I value clarity more than being right,
When I understand that you are not a weapon, but a light.

# The Habit of Truth

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
But how often do I close my ears to your whispers?
When comfort beckons with its velvet hands,
I turn away from your sharp-edged clarity.

In morning's light, I promise allegiance to your cause,
By evening, I've crafted a thousand little lies
That cushion my fall into sleep's embrace,
Small betrayals that accumulate like dust.

Truth, you are the mirror I both seek and avoid,
Reflecting parts of myself I struggle to claim.
You stand patient at the threshold of my awareness,
Waiting for the moment I summon courage to invite you in.

What habit must I cultivate to hear you clearly?
Perhaps the discipline of silence,
The practice of sitting still with discomfort,
The art of questioning what I most believe.

Truth! I shall speak you when I learn to listen,
When I train my heart to recognize your voice
Among the clamoring crowd of desires and fears.
You are not found in certainty but in its dissolution.

I shall make of my life a sanctuary for your presence,
A place where pretense falls away like autumn leaves,
Where I stand naked before the reality of all things,
And find, at last, the freedom that comes with surrender.

# The Listener's Vow

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
For how can one echo what one has never heard?
Like ancient monks transcribing sacred texts,
I must first absorb before I can proclaim.

The world drowns in convenient falsehoods,
Comfortable deceptions wrapped in silken words,
While Truth stands naked, often unwelcome,
A visitor knocking at doors seldom opened.

I pledge to create silence within myself,
To clear the cluttered chambers of my mind,
Where preconceptions gather thick as dust,
And ego's voice drowns out all other sounds.

Truth requires a disciplined ear,
Attuned to whispers beneath the shouting crowd,
Patient enough to wait through long silences,
Brave enough to hear what brings discomfort.

I shall be the vessel, hollowed and ready,
Not the fountain that generates its own content,
For Truth exists independent of my wishes,
Unmoved by my desires or fears.

When I speak, let it not be my voice alone,
But the resonance of what Truth has taught me,
Each word a faithful mirror reflecting
What I have learned in moments of true listening.

This is my covenant with honesty:
To be first its student before becoming its voice,
To honor the practice of receptive silence
Before claiming the right to proclaim.

# Celebration

Their flags and their banners they are waving
With joy and excitement they shout,
Voices rising like birds in the morning,
Hearts beating what freedom's about.

Colors flutter against azure skies,
A tapestry woven in light,
The crowd moves as one living creature
That breathes with collective delight.

Children perched high on shoulders,
Eyes wide at the spectacle's sweep,
The old ones remember past struggles,
Promises they fought hard to keep.

Drums echo the pulse of the gathering,
Trumpets announce a new day,
As strangers become instant neighbors
United in hopeful display.

What cause brings them forth in such numbers?
What victory do they proclaim?
Perhaps it's the simple communion
Of spirits no walls can contain.

Their flags and their banners keep waving,
A language beyond spoken word,
The flutter of fabric like heartbeats
In which all their stories are heard.

# The Gathering

Their flags and their banners they are waving
With joy and excitement they shout,
A sea of colors dancing skyward
As dreams and desires break out.

The square fills with thunderous voices
That echo from stone walls around,
A chorus of hope and defiance
That trembles the very ground.

Silk standards snap in the breeze,
Emblems of what they believe,
Each person a verse in the anthem
Their collective presence conceives.

They've traveled from valleys and highlands,
From cities and villages small,
Drawn by an invisible current
That answered an unspoken call.

Hands lifted in unified purpose,
Faces alight with the glow
Of those who have glimpsed something greater
Than what they were taught to know.

The elders stand firm in the center,
The young ones push in from the edge,
Together they form something sacred—
A movement, a moment, a pledge.

Their flags and their banners keep waving,
A testament wrought from the soul,
The visible sign of invisible bonds
That make the divided now whole.

# Revolution's Dawn

Their flags and their banners they are waving
With joy and excitement they shout,
Across the square where history trembles
As old orders are put to rout.

The cobblestones witness their fervor,
These children of struggle and strife,
Their voices a thunderous river
Demanding their birthright to life.

See how the colors catch sunlight!
Crimson and emerald and gold,
Symbols of dreams long-suppressed now
Finally breaking the mold.

Generations stand shoulder to shoulder,
The weathered beside the untried,
United in this fleeting moment
When fear has been cast aside.

The poet among them scribbles,
The singer composes a tune,
The mother lifts high her infant
To witness what freedom might bloom.

From balconies, skeptics are watching,
From palaces, tyrants take note,
For nothing remains quite as frightening
As hope rising up in the throat.

Their flags and their banners keep waving,
A language that needs no translate,
The semaphore signs of a people
Who refuse to surrender to fate.

TRUTH'S WHISPER

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
But how often do I turn away, preferring comfort's sweet disguise?
The world spins tales of cotton candy dreams and plastic-perfect views,
While you stand naked, unadorned, awaiting patient recognition.

I have built fortresses against your voice—
Walls of justification, moats of denial,
Drawbridges raised when your messengers approach
With words that might dismantle what I've carefully constructed.

Yet in the silence between heartbeats,
You find me vulnerable, unable to flee.
Your whisper cuts through my elaborate defenses
Like sunlight through morning fog.

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
But listening requires courage I sometimes lack—
The courage to face my own reflection,
Unvarnished by the flattering mirrors I've hung.

So I practice this discipline of attention:
To sit with discomfort when you speak,
To welcome the earthquake of revelation
That might topple my house of cards.

For what am I if not a vessel for your voice?
What purpose have these lips if not to shape your sound?
What good these ears if tuned only to echoes
Of what I wish to hear?

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
And today I choose to listen,
To cup my hands around the flame of your presence,
And let it illuminate what I have kept in darkness.

Truth's Whisper

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
But how often do I close my ears to your persistent call?
You whisper through the rustling leaves and morning dew,
Yet I build walls of comfort where your voice cannot crawl.

Truth, you are the mirror I often turn away,
Reflecting parts of me I've hidden in shadow and doubt.
You stand unwavering while my certainties sway,
Patient as centuries while my falsehoods play out.

If I listened more closely to your unadorned voice,
Would my words carry weight beyond empty sound?
Would I recognize myself in that difficult choice
To stand naked before what is real and profound?

Truth! I shall speak you when I've learned to hear
The quiet spaces between heartbeats and breath,
When I've surrendered the armor of convenient fear
And embraced the liberation of my own death.

For what am I but a vessel for your light to shine through?
A temporary guardian of something eternal and pure.
If I am silent enough to let you filter and brew,
Perhaps then my speaking will finally endure.

TRUTH'S WHISPER

Truth! I shall speak you if I am in habit of listening to you,
But how often do I turn away, preferring comfort's lullaby?
The gentle deception of my own making,
Sweeter than your unadorned face.

You whisper in the silence between heartbeats,
In the pause before sleep claims consciousness,
In the moment before words form on eager lips.
Yet I drown you with noise, with distraction's embrace.

Truth! You are the mirror I both seek and avoid,
Reflecting not what I wish to see but what is.
Your voice carries no malice, only clarity,
A clarity that burns like winter air in fragile lungs.

If I am to speak you, I must first learn to hear you,
To cultivate the garden of stillness where you bloom,
To honor the discomfort you sometimes bring,
And recognize it as growing pains of the soul.

Truth! I shall speak you when I have learned to listen,
When I have mastered the art of silencing my defenses,
When I have found courage to stand naked before your gaze,
And wisdom to understand your purpose is not punishment but liberation.
